[Non-Sequitur]

It should be remembered that all of recorded human history, in which man went from stone tablets to interplanetary space flight, covers just 10,000 years.

Which is roughly 4,000 years longer than what Biblical creationism allows for, isn't it?

[GodGunsGuts]

There are low and high estimates...the high estimates are right around 10,000 years. The vast majority of estimates are around 6,000 years.
